Question

Read the following passage and then answer the following questions:

An archeologist (expert in the study of ancient things) studies the past and from the evidence

(that which proves something) he can build up a picture of how many people lived. He is able

reconstruct the daily lives of men and women who lived thousands of years ago by studying

scientifically the things which those men have left behind them. He prepares lists and compares

their weapons and tools, their pots, needles and combs, and the ruined homes and graves in

which these prehistoric ( of the times earlier than recovered history) possessions are found.

What kind of facts can the archeologist learn from these random (irregular) survivals (things

continuing to exist) of the past? From the weapons he judges the size of the animals their owners

could kill. From the tools he sees what crafts (skilled arts) their owners had mastered. From the

pots and needles and combs he assesses (estimate the value of) the domestic (of the house) skills

(special abilities of doing different things) and fashions of their wives. And, from the graves and

more especially the objects found inside the graves, he understands primitive (very ancient)

man‟s hopes and fear of an afterlife ( life after death) with the archeologist‟s, it is now possible

to give some details about 9,000 years of history in the middle east ( that is, in countries like

Egypt, Syria, Iraq etc. ), and to write generally reliable ( dependable) account ( description) of

human evolution ( development of the progress going back some half a million years).
